I blame Gundam Wing and its nonsense end of history lib politics for the "Gundam = War is bad" reading that the western fandom has. That, and a lack of understanding of what imperialism is, but it's easier to blame Toonami, isn't it?
Wing starts good, but turns into a muddled mess halfway. Some cool aesthetics and ideas (what if we made a bunch of pretty robot pilot boys and put them in a school like a shojo anime), though.
It's worth watching for Endless Waltz, or at least that's what I tell myself.

idk, i think wing seems far from the worst offender. at least it seems relatively pro anti-imperialist violence. i've only seen like 2 episodes though

the show ran into serious production issues and the director changed midway through. Modern anime production under capitalism
Endless Waltz is sick.
well i'll try and go in with an open mind anyway
i love ur judau avatar btw
All I got out of Gundam Wing was that accelerationism is dumb.
I think that was mostly in Endless Waltz though. I dunno, it was half a lifetime ago.
